MANILA, Philippines — Polar opposites attract as reigning champion National U shoots for a second straight win against the rebuilding Ateneo side, coming off a debut meltdown, in UAAP Season 87 women’s volleyball today at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan.
The Lady Bulldogs are fresh from an impressive straight-sets win against rival La Salle, needing only 90 minutes to kick off their title retention bid on a high note while the Blue Eagles wasted a 2-0 lead opposite the Lady Falcons.
And as expected, NU, led by the lethal duo of Season MVP Bella Belen and Finals MVP Alyssa Solomon, looms to prevail anew in their 11 a.m. tiff after the duel of their men’s teams at 9 a.m. Opening-day victors UP and FEU also clash at 3 p.m. (men’s).
